Now anyone know where else this engine is (was used) milspec only? or a varient on their diesel tractors of the (60s? 70s?). I'd guess not designed/made only for the mil but perhaps a variant of a tractor engine. Local FD is stuck with some 400hz MEP117 they need to recover their freight $ (did not know they were getting 400hz units). I'm recommending they pull/sell the engines and send the residue to GSA for auction.
